Durums progress in rust resistance research and breeding
Durum wheats undergo greenhouse and field tests for stem rust. Three varieties CI 3255 PI 94901 and RL 1714 show resistance but lack commercial yield and macaroni quality. Breeding stations at North Dakota Agricultural College and Winnipeg work with Khapli derivatives Abyssinian and Ethiopian lines to combine multiple resistance sources for better rust tolerance and quality. Progress includes hybrid testing toward a temporary rust resistant durum and a healthier future crop.
